NOTE: THE DEAL IS A SUCCESSFUL ONE - AS VAN-VLEAT CAN BE TRADED

Rockets:

• CJ is a great shooter, solid passer and defender and that's what the team needs.

• Ideally they would trade for Derrick White. But the Celtics will be reluctant to trade him, and if they do the price will be steep and probably hurt their depth.

• Shepherd might be great but the teams is in win now mode and he doesn't fit.

Wizards:

• They are in rebuilding mode and should take a flyer on a high ceilings guy. Even if Currington is looking good.

• Van-Vleat might be a negative but they can take his salary and possibly flip him next year if they are lucky.
